The condensed cyclic compound represented by Formula 1 may be selected from Compounds 1 to 126:

In the condensed cyclic compound represented by Formula 1 according to one or more embodiments, an electron donor group and an electron acceptor group may be combined, thus reducing a difference between the HOMO and LUMO energy levels of the condensed cyclic compound represented by Formula 1. Accordingly, the maximum emission wavelength of the condensed cyclic compound represented by Formula 1 may be shifted to a long wavelength region, and thus, of the condensed cyclic compound represented by Formula 1 may be configured to emit near-infrared light having a wavelength of 680 nanometers (nm) or greater.

As the condensed cyclic compound represented by Formula 1 has an expanded π electron system, an energy level difference between the coupled orbital and the back-coupled orbital of the condensed cyclic compound represented by Formula 1 may be reduced, consequently reducing a band gap of the condensed cyclic compound represented by Formula 1. When an electron donor group is combined with an electron acceptor group, through charge separation, near-infrared light of which the wavelength is shifted to a longer wavelength region may be emitted by the condensed cyclic compound represented by Formula 1.

An anode of a glass substrate, on which ITO was formed to a thickness of 120 nm, was ultrasonically cleaned and pretreated (UV and O₃ heat-treatment).

Compound HT6 and HAT-CN were co-deposited on the anode to form a hole transport layer having a thickness of 120 nm.

Compound H56, i.e., a host, and Compound 1, i.e., a dopant, were co-deposited on the hole transport layer to a weight ratio of 98:2, thereby forming an emission layer having a thickness of about 30 nm.

Next, BAlq was deposited on the emission layer to form a hole blocking layer having a thickness of 5 nm. Then, Alq3 was deposited on the hole blocking layer to form an electron transport layer having a thickness of 25 nm. LiF was then deposited on the electron transport layer to form an electron injection layer having a thickness of 0.5 nm. Lastly, aluminum (Al) was deposited on the electron injection layer to form a cathode having a thickness of 150 nm, thereby completing the manufacture of an light-emitting device having a structure of ITO (120 nm)/HT6:HAT-CN (120 nm)/H56:1 (2 wt %, 30 nm)/Alq (25 nm)/Al (150 nm).

Examples 2 to 13

Organic light-emitting devices were manufactured in substantially the same manner as in Example 1, except that Compounds 5, 8, 11, 13, 17, 32, 40, 47, 49, 70, 85, and 109 were used instead of Compound 1 as a dopant.

Evaluation Example 1

The driving voltage, current density, external quantum luminous efficiency, and maximum emission wavelength of the organic light-emitting devices manufactured in Examples 1 to 13 were measured by using Keithley source-measure unit (SMU) 236 and a luminance meter PR650.

The organic light-emitting devices of Examples 1 to 13 were found to have low driving voltage and high external quantum luminous efficiency as compared to other organic light-emitting devices in the related art, while emitting, for example, near-infrared light having a maximum emission wavelength of 680 nm or greater.

As apparent from the foregoing description, the organic light-emitting device may emit light of a near-infrared (NIR) region while having a low driving voltage and high efficiency.
